Chapter 28 The season of green fat, red and thin
There were many people on the streets of Tokyo in the evening, and the roads were full of traffic. If you only look at Tokyo and not other places in the Zhou Dynasty, people might feel that they are in a prosperous era, not a chaotic era. The weather was hot, and Guo Shao had been walking for a day and was worried about the military affairs. At this time, he felt a little tired and did not even notice that Yulian, who had been silently following for a long time, was silently following behind.
I went out in February and it was already July when I came back. Time flies so fast that half of the year has passed. The scene of flowers blooming in buds is gone, and it is replaced by lush leaves, which are as green as green as a ball of green and ink cannot be melted. Guo Shao remembered a poem in the Song Dynasty: green, fat, red and thin.
The soldiers were anxious to take the money home to reunite, so they followed Guo Shao to find the location of the new house. With Guo Shao's permission, they all dispersed one after another. In the end, only Dong Wujiang and his daughter were left. Dong Wujiang led the horse and the little girl followed behind.
The house that the queen praised was in the inner city. It entered from Xuande Road, the central axis road of the inner city, but not the main road. It is far away from the inner city's handicraft workshop in the north and close to Daxiangguo Temple in the south. The residents here are sparsely populated, and most of them are home to wealthy businessmen. The environment is very quiet. You can hear monks from Daxiangguo Temple chanting scriptures outside. The vague praises are as reassuring as soothing music.
The Fu family's villa is also in such a good location, and it is indeed of a warlord family. However, this kind reward is only a symbolic copper key, no land deed, and it is indeed for him to live in... Anyway, it cannot be sold as his own property.
The lock on the door opened, Dong Wajian leaned in and asked in an accent with a strong Hedong dialect: "Is anyone?"
The eunuch who accompanied him said, "There were a few guardians in the past, but now everyone has withdrawn. Guo Yuhou lives here, so of course it is easier to use his own people."
"You are so thoughtful." Guo Shao reached into his pocket and took out a broken piece of silver. Zuo You divided it very carefully last night, "You go there and buy a pair of shoes and socks."
The eunuch was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said happily: "Thank you, Guo Yu, for your reward. Then we will take our leave."
Judging from his attitude, Guo Shao immediately confirmed that the eunuchs nowadays are incomparable to those of the Tang or Ming dynasties, and they must have a relatively low status. At this time, the highest status should be the military general with military power.
Guo Shao walked into the gate first, and the old and young people followed him in. He walked for a while and found that there was an inner courtyard inside the outer courtyard, which was relatively large and there was not even a single person inside. He was still worried about things, so he didn't have the patience to look carefully. However, the two of the Dong family stared at the boss, looked around curiously, and touched with their hands carefully.
Guo Shao grabbed a piece of broken silver from his purse and handed it to Dong Wajian: "Take a look at the two military horses, pack up the things he brought back, and ask people to find a place to buy some feed. Then you go to the restaurant for dinner by yourself. When I came here just now, I saw many shops on the street."
Dong Wujiang held it with both hands, nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
Guo Shao taught him again and helped him remove the heavy armor on his body and threw it straight into the corner. Guo Shao thought about it again. He had asked about the double salary of the governor of the inner palace, the governor of the Californian Palace. He felt that it was quite generous. He was not lucky enough to get extra rewards. It would be no problem to raise a hundred and eighty people by his salary alone... After thinking about it, he didn't want to save anymore, so he took a horse out.
Huang Blacksmith was not very happy. Just by looking at his expression, you can guess that this old man in his fifties didn't know what kind of inner palace was so useless. It was useless to say nothing without that concept.
Seeing this, Guo Shao couldn't help but say again: "There is another official, the governor of Ganzhou. The largest official in the state. When the county officials of each county below meet me, they must respectfully take care of them... The county officials know, right? The village has committed a big incident and are brought to the lobby to criticize him. The official sitting on it is the county officials."
Now Huang Blacksmith understood and said in surprise: "The head family is bigger than the county magistrate's emperor!"
Guo Shao couldn't explain it clearly, so he nodded and thought to himself: Compared with the position of actual military power like Zhiduhou in the inner palace, the local governor is considered a bird, let alone a sesame-sized county magistrate... But if it were modern, it would seem to be very powerful to be the head of a county. If you want to show your power, you still have to guard the ceremonial position to scare ordinary people. You have just been promoted and have not had time to get things.
...
Yulian wandered on the street and saw Guo Shao returning from the inner city and going to Longjinfang... He made a special trip back, which made Yulian ignite a glimmer of hope. However, Brother Shao is now amazing, and he looks at the sky when he walks, but he doesn't see himself.
She stood around the street with her head down, feeling nervous, afraid of meeting an acquaintance, and was also very entangled. Should she see him?
At that time, when I saw Guo Shao next to the queen's ceremonial guard, I immediately poured a sober cold water on Yu Lian. This Guo Lang is no longer the former Shao Geer!
In the past, when he was working in Shao Ge'er, Yulian had to use his money to buy wine, so she felt very inferior and ashamed... Now he is obviously arriving: Old Man Huang doesn't understand, Yulian still understands, she has never eaten pork and seen pig run. She can talk to the queen and nobles in the inner palace, and can still be given brocade robes. No matter how you look at it, it is not like an ordinary promotion.
When he enters the circle of power, his vision and spirit will also change. Yulian thought, what can a person like him have to do with him? If you were the bad wife he had married before, there would be something to say.
If you go to bother Shao Ge'er, what should you do? Being a maid... it seems that she can't do it. After all, she is someone she knew when she was poor. Letting her marry you? That's simply whimsical. Even if she goes back for another five or six years, she is not worthy of being a girl.
Forget it! Everything is fate, it does not belong to you, and you should not expect anything extravagant. It is just to seek trouble and humiliate yourself! Shao Ge'er used to treat herself badly, but now he has made a fortune, so he should be happy for him, so he can only hear about him occasionally in the crowd.
Just disappear from him like this! Staying in Yuzhenguan is actually not bad; there is the opportunity you should seize. This world is full of war, famine and famine. Being a nun and a Taoist priest is very demanding, and it is not so easy for you to make a living.
People still have to accept their fate. Yulian's tears rolled in her eyes, and she turned around with difficulty and wanted to leave.
At this moment, a woman suddenly seemed to have discovered something surprising, and her tone was filled with surprise: "Oh! Isn't this the Chen family's wife? Come back and have a look?"
Yulian turned her head and didn't want to say anything to her. She couldn't explain it clearly. She felt both ashamed and angry.
